Things You'll Need

Instructions

1

For each color, mix 1/4 cup of tempera powder with 3 tbsp. of water and 2 tsp. of dishwashing soap in a jar or other container. Stir until the mixture is well-blended. If you think you want a brighter color, add more tempera paint.
2

Lay newspaper out on your work surface, and then put your jar of paint on the newspaper next to your paper. Put the drinking straw in the jar and gently blow the paint mixture. Keep blowing until the bubbles overflow.
3

To capture your bubbles on paper, gently roll one of your pieces of paper on top of the bubbles that stand up from the jar. The bubbles will leave a print on your paper before they burst.
4

Lay your paper flat to dry.
5

If the edges of your paper curl, put a large, heavy book on top of your paper after it has dried. Leave the book for several hours.
